[Reunion After Years Apart + Age Gap + Not Both Each Other's First + Winning Her Back + Happy Ending]
What is first love?
Is it the first serious romance of your life? The first shy kiss you remember? Or... that moment when your heart first fluttered?
Li Yuxiao spent ten whole years in a relationship, only for it to come to an abrupt end just as they were discussing marriage. The moment her partner's parents suggested marrying to bring good fortune, she suddenly came to her senses. It was time to put an end to this relationship that had entangled her for half her life.
Just when her life was at its most chaotic, the person who had lived in her heart for ten years reappeared without warning.
"Are you still going to pretend you don't know me?" Lu Hangting's voice seemed to travel across a decade.
That's right, they had met more than ten years ago at a rose-giving event. A boy holding flowers, a girl lowering her head: an almost-romance that ended before it could begin, becoming a hidden reef in each of their hearts.
Back then, Lu Hangting watched Li Yuxiao announce her relationship on social media. The light of his phone screen slowly faded, and the love that had just begun to stir in his heart sank into darkness with it.
When they met again ten years later, he watched her go from bright and sunny to cold-eyed. He saw her standing downstairs, haggard, as she brought her decade-long relationship to an end with her own hands. In that moment, Lu Hangting knew he couldn't let her go again, no matter what had kept them apart all those years ago.
Lu Hangting cornered Li Yuxiao against the wall, leaving her nowhere to retreat.
At last, Li Yuxiao lost control. "Lu Hangting! Why did you come after me when you had a fiancée back then?"
"I never had one!" His voice was firm and unequivocal.
"This time, I'm not letting go!"
